Solution

The example of artificial passive immunity among the options given is the "Administration of antibodies or immunoglobulins".

Here's why:

  1. Artificial passive immunity is a type of immunity that is induced artificially, i.e., not through a natural process. It involves the introduction of antibodies into the body, rather than the body producing these antibodies on its own.

  2. In the case of "Administration of antibodies or immunoglobulins", these antibodies are typically produced in a lab and then given to the person to help fight off infection. This is done instead of waiting for the person's own immune system to produce these antibodies. This is why it is an example of artificial passive immunity.

  3. The other options do not fit the definition of artificial passive immunity. Vaccination to prevent a disease is an example of active immunity because it involves the body producing its own antibodies in response to a vaccine. Natural exposure after getting the disease is also an example of active immunity, as the body has to produce its own antibodies in response to the infection. Maternal transfer of antibodies to an infant is an example of natural passive immunity, as these antibodies are naturally passed from the mother to the infant, rather than being produced by the infant's own immune system or administered artificially.
